There is no unified description of Creation in the Qur’an.
There are, however, passages scattered all over the Qur’an dealing with aspects of the Creation. A close look at the references shows a series of events which when put together gives a clearer picture.

A Few References from The Qur'an
Six Days: The creation was completed in six days (10:3).

Order: In four days the earth was completed. Then attention was given to the sky, which was still smoke. In two days seven heavens were created with the lower heaven adorned with lights (41:10-12).

Everything on earth was created before Allah turned to the sky or heaven and fashioned seven levels of heavens (2:29, 41:10-12).

Mountains Set Down: Mountains were set down on the earth like giant immovable weights or pegs in order to keep the flat earth from moving (15:19, 21:31, 31:10, 88:19, 16:15, 79:32, 78:7).

Stars Are Lamps: Above the earth were constructed seven layers of heavens which are miraculously kept from falling. The lower level is decorated with lighted lamps (41:12, 67:5).

Birds: Birds are a sign to encourage belief since there is no natural reason why they are suspended between the earth and the sky. It is only by Allah’s miraculous power (16:79).

The descriptions of Creation in the Quran are not mere historical accounts, but are rather to engage the reader in learning the lessons from it. The act of Creation, therefore, is frequently spoken of as a way of drawing the reader into thinking about the order in all things, and the All-Knowing Creator Who is behind it all.
